Systeme.io vs GetResponse: what the pricing pages actually say

What the record says
These two get compared constantly because both promise "everything in one place" for email-driven businesses. But their pricing pages describe two different products, and the difference matters more than any feature checklist.
Systeme.io prices by tier, flat. $17/month buys 5,000 contacts and every core feature; the free plan is not a trial — 2,000 contacts, unlimited email sends, 3 funnels, forever. The catch is in the limits grid: 1 automation rule and 1 email campaign on Free means real marketing work starts at Startup.
GetResponse prices by list size, like classic email platforms. The €16/month Starter is for 1,000 contacts — grow the list and the price grows with it (we have not yet recorded the higher slider tiers, so we won't quote them). What you get for the money is a more conventional, deeper email product: its Marketer tier's segmentation and ecommerce tooling have no real equivalent at Systeme.io's $17 level.
The honest fork: if funnels, a course, and email under one roof at a flat price is the goal, Systeme.io's tiers are hard to argue with — unlimited sends on every plan is rare. If email is the business and the list will grow past a few thousand, compare GetResponse's slider price at YOUR list size against Systeme.io's tier caps before deciding — that comparison changes with size, which is exactly why we track these pages daily.

Questions people actually search
Is Systeme.io really free?
The Free tier is permanent, not a trial: 2,000 contacts and unlimited email sends, but only 1 automation rule and 1 email campaign — enough to run a newsletter, not a marketing operation. Read on their pricing page 25 Aug 2026.
Which is cheaper at 5,000 contacts?
Systeme.io: $17/month (Startup, flat). GetResponse: we have not yet recorded their 5,000-contact slider price, so we won't guess — this page updates when the record has it.
Do both have webinars?
Systeme.io from the Webinar tier ($47); GetResponse from the Creator tier (€62 at 1,000 contacts). Both read 25 Aug 2026.
